Dear Peter, My English teacher has given me your name because I am looking for a penfriend, so I am writing to introduce myself. I’m 34 years old, I am married and I live with my wife and son Ouargla, Algeria. I have been working as a mechanical engineer for 8 years. Despite working far away from my home, I really love my job as I have the chance to resolve different kinds of problems every day. I spend most of my free time reading historical and autobiography books, I like to consider myself a keen reader as I read two books every month.
In addition
, I love gaming twice a week, I prefer action-adventure games but I detest shooter games. I
also
do some hiking as I try to go out once twilight to the mountains.
Finally
, I do a lot of DIY , recently I decorated the walls of my living room with wood panels,
next
time I’ll send some photos. Well, enough from me, Tell me more about yourself and how you keep yourself busy. I would be happy to hear from you in the near future. Until the
next
time, take care of yourself and your family. Kind regards, Abdelouahab
